Bavarian People's Uprising 1705-1706

[ 1705 - 1706 ]

The Bavarian People's Uprising, Bavarian Popular Uprising or Bavarian national uprising (German: Bayerische Volkserhebung) is the name of a revolt in 1705-06 against the occupation by the Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation, during the War of Spanish Succession (1701–1714). It lasted from early November 1705 to 18 January 1706, approximately 75 days. Henric L. Wuermeling speaks of this as "the first revolution of modern history."
